Germany - Freizeitpark Plohn, located in Lengenfeld, Germany, has announced plans to introduce the world’s first multi-launch water coaster in 2026.
This groundbreaking attraction, developed in collaboration with renowned manufacturer Mack Rides, is set to revolutionize the theme park experience by combining advanced launch technology with exhilarating water elements.
A Pioneering Attraction
The forthcoming water coaster will feature multiple Linear Induction Motor (LIM) launches, propelling riders from a standstill into dynamic sequences of curves, drops, and high-speed maneuvers. Spanning over 500 meters in length, the ride will include unique elements such as a “high five” zone and a twisted airtime hill, culminating in a dramatic splashdown finale. The park is investing approximately €11.5 million in this state-of-the-art attraction, aiming to offer a family-friendly yet thrilling experience.
Strategic Partnership with Mack Rides
The decision to partner with Mack Rides underscores Freizeitpark Plohn’s commitment to quality and innovation. Jan Völkel, the park’s managing director, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, “With the world’s first water coaster featuring multi LIM launches, we are fulfilling a dream and expressing our gratitude to our loyal and growing fan base. This unique combination of high-tech, water fun, and roller coaster excitement is unparalleled globally.”
Enhancing the Park’s Appeal
Scheduled to open in conjunction with the park’s 30th anniversary in 2026, the multi-launch water coaster is expected to attract visitors from across Europe and beyond. Freizeitpark Plohn, established in 1996, currently offers over 80 attractions, including six roller coasters and four water rides, catering to a diverse audience. The addition of this innovative ride is anticipated to elevate the park’s profile within the competitive amusement industry.
Commitment to Thematic Integration
In line with its tradition of immersive theming, Freizeitpark Plohn plans to seamlessly integrate the new coaster into its natural landscape, ensuring the park’s charm remains intact. While specific thematic details are yet to be disclosed, the park has assured that the attraction will be thoughtfully designed to enhance the overall guest experience.
